I’m kind of a bad mom when it comes to labeling my boys’ clothing, shoes, and cups. Permanent markers are constantly misplaced in the house and I never think to buy the expensive dishwasher-safe label tape for my label maker. I jumped at the opportunity to try Applied Labels because now that we go to the gym all the time, Timothy’s cups, coat, and diaper bag need to have his name on them. Read more…
In all honesty, I am not a huge fan of giving gift certificates because I find them to be impersonal. But I love getting them!

Four pregnancies pretty much wreaked havoc on my body. With Timothy, I was fairly sure I would fall apart. My abs were split, I had the stupid gestational diabeetus, and I was miserable. Once he was born, I had no idea how to go about getting my body back. Because of my diastasis recti (split abs), doing pilates and yoga were counterproductive. Imagine trying to sit up from laying down. Now imagine your abdominal muscles popping up like toast in a toaster. That’s exactly what it looked like for me and it is not good for healing! Finding a post-partum exercise routine was not easy. I had to bind myself in pilates in order to keep my abs flat and that was really uncomfortable.

I laughed out loud when I got my sample of Cottonelle Fresh Wipes in the mail on Monday. Seriously. It just so happened they arrived on the very day members of my family came down with a horrible, horrible stomach virus. Talk about needing to be fresh! Read more…
